Genesis Study 13

Genesis 3:1-5 Scott starts this Genesis study by explaining how he feels this podcast study will have lots of ideas, but he will not have too many conclusions. Ideas are shared about the serpent and what was it like to communicate with and reason with the animals in the garden. Brad imagines what that would be like and shares his idea of how fun it could be to be in communion with the animals. Scott gives evidence that the serpent was designed by God and because of that the serpent was perfect and good in God’s creation. Only after the temptation and fall did the serpent become evil in our minds. Continuing, Scott shares more ideas as to why Satan used the serpent and presents information that it might have been as a mockery of the Holy Spirit. Brad shares a quick shout out for a recent documentary he watched called “The Riot and the Dance” that shows all of God’s creatures in a positive light. Scott moves on to a word study of the word “serpent”. The next point Scott shares is that Adam was with Eve as she talked with the serpent and Scott wonders why Eve added to God’s word answering the serpent that they could not touch the fruit. Next, Scott ponders what it means when it says we will not die after eating the fruit. This one concludes with a conversation on Satan and how he is a master tactician but still loses to Jesus in the end.
